We came upon this modest church while on a Civil War tour covering "Custer at the Battle of Cedar Creek." This building was not there in 1864, but another church named Hites Chapel stood in the vicinity. In spite of the peace and quiet that you find here today, this area was the scene of action in October of 1864. It's around four miles west of what we usually consider the Cedar Creek Battlefield, but cavalry could gallop across that distance fairly quickly.
I'd rather be here today than in 1864! And I liked the bird house with a steeple.

cute little birdhouse. :)
ReplyDeleteVery peaceful, though it wasn't back when Custer was in the area. A peculiar man, he was... and not a terribly bright fellow either.
